Synopsis

In a world ravaged by ceaseless conflict, Christopher Buehlman's "The Daughters' War" plunges readers into a desperate human struggle against the relentless goblin horde. With cities enslaved, fields burned, and most men lost to the brutal war, humanity's last hope rests with its daughters. Galva, defying her family's wishes, joins the newly formed Raven Knights, an untested unit accompanied by giant, magic-infused war corvids. Their perilous mission: to reclaim a once-beautiful city overrun by goblins, and perhaps, turn the tide of a war threatening to reduce mankind to cattle. The journey is fraught with peril, forcing Galva and her comrades to confront the cunning and merciless nature of their enemy, the terrifying power of their own war birds, and the fragility of their bonds. Set just prior to the events of "The Blacktongue Thief," this standalone novel is a shattering fantasy adventure exploring themes of sacrifice, survival, and the indomitable spirit of those who fight for a future against overwhelming odds.

Critical Reception

"This standalone prequel has been lauded for its visceral action, compelling character development, and unflinching portrayal of war, solidifying Christopher Buehlman's reputation as a master of dark fantasy."
